On Tuesday, an international team of researchers unveiled BadRAM, a proof-of-concept attack that completely undermines security assurances that chipmaker AMD makes to users of one of its most expensive and well-fortified microprocessor product lines. Starting with the AMD Epyc 7003 processor, a feature known as SEV-SNP—short for Secure Encrypted Virtualization and Secure Nested Paging—has provided the cryptographic means for certifying that a VM hasn’t been compromised by any sort of backdoor installed by someone with access to the physical machine running it.
Legit question: is the “he/she shits your pants” expression and generally shit verbiage own vogue or something?
I have to ask because I keep seeing it and I’m pretty sheltered from corporate social media (and probably larger Internet cultural trends overall).
It’s been a meme for a while I think. If I had to guess I’d say it started with some Tumblr thread. Obviously not entirely suitable for normal-speak, which is why it’s on lemmy instead of a workplace slack channel.
